Sharing My Activities with Other Teachers

Share an Activity

If you want to share an Activity with another teacher, you can turn on Sharing and send them a link. They can preview your Activity and copy it into their own Classwork account.


This is also how you copy an Activity from a co-teacher into your own account.


Turn On Sharing for an Activity

  1. Click Activities in the left navigation menu.
  2. Locate the Activity you want to share and check the box next to it.
  3. When the Activity toolbar appears, click the Share button.


Activity Menu with the Share button


  1. In the dialog window, toggle Sharing for this activity is currently to On.
  2. Click Copy to copy the generated link.
  3. Paste the link into an email, document, or message to your colleague.


Important: Sharing is for teachers. If you want students to complete the Activity, create an Assignment instead.


What Other Teachers See

When someone clicks your sharing link, they will see the Activity in Teacher Preview mode.


If they are not logged in, they will see a prompt to sign up or log in before copying the Activity.

If they are already logged in, they will see a button at the top that allows them to copy the Activity into their account.

Can Other Teachers See My Student Work?

Share Multiple Activities or a Folder

You can share more than one Activity at a time, including entire folders.


  1. Go to your Activities page.
  2. Select the checkboxes next to the Activities or folders you want to share.
